Gemstone is Deceased

Had to go to the ER yesterday for an asthma attack and came home and my Gemstone was lying in a puddle on the floor dead.
I guess the person painting my living room broke Gemstone's Home.
I call his boss and they are going to reimburse me for the damage. They want to replace my puffer but I said no. I just do not feel up to raising another puffer.
Maybe in a little while but not right now.

I am so sorry for your loss. We feel like we knew Gemstone by your postings. I can understand an accidental aquarium breaking, but I don't understand how anyone can walk away from a fish on the floor.
I hope you are physically feeling better - there's nothing like an epinephrine shot! (Been there, done that...)

Oh wow, that must be really hard. I can understand the aquarium breaking, accidents are accidents but if that was me(whether I had fish or not)I'd be trying to save as many as I could for the person.
I'm so sorry for your loss

Yes, it was hard.
I have already gotten a replacement for it. I had a salt tank ready to go and I went to pick up my Pearl Gourami that I ordered and seen this awesome Saddle back Puffer and purchased it. I wasn't quite ready for another puffer but I seen this one and my eyes could not just let it pass.
I had to make a 911 stop at another lfs so I could have it put in a new bag since it broke.
I have my new puffer posted in the Marine section since it is a saltwater puffer.
But here is a picture

Thanks.
Sorry about the bad picture.
I'm kind of pressed for time.
Got an assignment due tonight and I'm stuck on it.

Didn't the person doing the painting call you on your mobile? God, I would've grabbed a pan - or anything.
So sorry to hear that - that's awful.
Hope your new guy settles in.
Pami.
